Xusein its a nightmare, not reserved to these 2 but to Africa in general. Africans inherited beautifully planned towns from the Europeans, 50 years later look at these places. theyre urban nightmares, unorganised, sanitary cesspools for the most part.

Town Centers like these below would be ideal for the towns i mentioned above. Currently most of these towns are 1 road towns, usually along the Barre era highway system. whole towns built directly on the highway route. INTERSECTIONS are the key to taking these towns to the next level. Most American cities developed around a Broad or Main st interesection eventually Expanding out.

if these towns focus on building town centers, where all commercial activity, entertainment and education is centered im confident they can grow into tier 1 cities in just a matter of years.
